You want to drive across the pavement. In this situation, are you obliged to refrain from driving if it could compel a pedestrian to stop, slow down or quicken their pace?

Explanation

Correct answer: Yes

Yes. Under art. 26 para. 7 of the Road Traffic Act, a driver crossing a pavement must drive slowly and give way to pedestrians. They must not drive on if doing so would force a pedestrian to stop, slow down or speed up. The video shows a vehicle crossing a pavement, where the pedestrian has absolute priority.
